you've never married?" If you've ever been guilty of asking that question of Al unmarried woman, you'd better rend on. For here is what a successful New York career woman has to aay about the matter, "By observation and from what my women friends who are single tell me, one of the greatest hnzards of being single -is having busybodies ask repeatedly why you're not married. Women, Ruth Millett are particularly bad about this, but men aren't good about it, either. "This seems to me to be an extremely personal question, on level with asking someone his age or how much he has in the bank. But It's worse, somehow.

friend, Rt the doddering and advanced age of 31. tells me the Is asked 'constantly, Other women, older women who ArC highly auccessful in business, are plagued by it. ton. It's situntion that seems to exist in all communities and at all social and age levels." She's right, of course. Nobody has a right to usk a single woman why she has never married.

Not cren the men who think they make the question sound like a by prettying It up so that it becomes, "How dous it happen that, A good-looking girl like you Isn't married?" Even fancied up, the question is still A nosey one, and not one that any woman 15 likely to welcome from anybody. But the women have to smile and pretend not to mind the queston. If they answered it as they have a perfect right to do: "How does it happen thnt you wore able to find someone to marry you?" they'd be put down as biller old maids. 50 they pass the question off with A wisecrack at their own expense and hide their resentment at such 8 personal question. They won't tell you, but you ought to know this anyway: Asking a woman why she has never married is A nosey impertinent questian even when the question is prettied up to sound like a handed compliment.
